Cagliari hopes to end its five-match winless run against Lazio

The Stadio Olimpico will play host to Cagliari this Tuesday as Lazio will welcome the club from Sardinia on their turf. The two teams haven’t been at their best this year, with Lazio scrambling in the 11th spot in the league table. The “I Biancocelesti” have managed to win just three games out of their nine matches and are on 12 points.

Cagliari is even further down in the 14th position, and nothing seems to be going right for the club. In their last five games, they have not been able to secure a single win but have lost three matches. The last defeat came against Sassuolo, which they lost 2-1. After trailing 0-2 at home, Fabio Pisacane’s men got a goal back through Sebastiano Esposito, raising hopes of the supporters, but it was too little too late. As such, the significance of this upcoming match is paramount for the island club.

Players to Watch

Toma Basic (Lazio)

All eyes will be on Toma Basic after his winning goal against Juventus. The midfielder scored the crucial goal in the match that helped his team clinch a much-needed victory (1-0). The tall and powerful Croatian can prove to be a handful if left unchecked, and caution will certainly have to be administered by Cagliari when he is in the midst of action.

Toma has played 75 matches for Lazio to date, which is coincidentally exactly equal to his club appearances for HNK Hajduk Split.

Sebastiano Esposito (Cagliari)

Sebastiano Esposito’s career has been quite an interesting one. The 23-year-old has spent much of his career out on loan while being under contract with Inter Milan. The forward joined Inter in 2019 from Brescia, but since then could not be a part of the “I Nerrazzuri” mainstay, spending isolated spells on loan at different Italian clubs.

However, all that can change this year if he can start a goal-scoring spree in his next couple of games. His first goal for the club came against Sassuolo in their last match, and he would surely want nothing more than to play spoilsport at Lazio’s party.
